The Transformative Vision of Our True Self

I am God’s Son, complete and healed and whole, shining in the reflection of His Love. ²In me is His creation sanctified and guaranteed eternal life. ³In me is love perfected, fear impossible, and joy established without opposite. ⁴I am the holy home of God Himself. ⁵I am the Heaven where His Love resides. ⁶I am His holy Sinlessness Itself, for in my purity abides His Own.

Ours are the eyes through which Christ’s vision sees a world redeemed from every thought of sin. ²Ours are the ears that hear the Voice for God proclaim the world as sinless. ³Ours the minds that join together as we bless the world. ⁴And from the oneness that we have attained we call to all our brothers, asking them to share our peace and consummate our joy.

We are the holy messengers of God who speak for Him, and carrying His Word to everyone whom He has sent to us, we learn that it is written on our hearts. ²And thus our minds are changed about the aim for which we came, and which we seek to serve. (A Course in Miracles, W-pII.14.1;4:1–5:2)

This does not describe how most of us would describe ourselves. But it does give us an idea of what we are in truth. The purpose of the Course is to teach us how to accept the truth of What we are. It tells us again and again that we are God’s extension of His Love, forever united with Him. It also tells us what we need to do to accept this fact. It all starts with forgiving our mistaken wish for specialness.

Today we ask the Holy Spirit to help us let go of our mistaken idea that we lack Love and are separate, alone and need to protect our little, separate identity. The image of our true Self the Course describes helps us see the blessing we will experience when we accept the truth of What we are. It is a transformative vision that we can aspire to and experience. It assures us that we are worthy of vigilance to change our mind and let Christ’s vision show us the Love we are, united with every brother in the Heaven of God’s Love.
